A visual comedy for the whole family, inspired by silent films, that invites us to reflect while having fun.
The freshness of the 'clown', humor, illusionism and dynamic audience participation are the weapons of seduction that the renowned Adrián Conde brings with this piece of gestural theater. Their particular magic tricks will shine as part of the Family Sundays initiative.
Recommended age: + 5 years
Duration: 50 minutes
‘Check Out’ is a hilarious critique of the frenetic lifestyle we lead. A story about the importance of family full of surprises and symbolism like an eventful trip to enjoy together without leaving the lobby of a hotel.
Ernesto's life happens as a bellboy in the lobby of a hotel. Between suitcases, transporting other people's lives, she dreams of leaving her children a better future. However, he also longs to spend more time with his family. A character who, between misunderstandings, a game of clown and a lot of fun, discovers throughout an unforeseen day of work that there is no better future than living enjoying the present.
What seems like just another day, routine and uneventful, turns into a deranged task: finding the owner of each suitcase, since Ernesto has lost the list to identify the owner of each item. Thanks to his efforts, he progressively finds each of the owners. Why is it empty? Whose suitcase is that? These are the questions that assail the protagonist, abducted by an aggressive obsession with career advancement.
The work is designed for various readings and interpretations, appropriate to the age of each viewer. The Chaplinesque aesthetic and the absence of words envelop the audience in a bizarre gestural theater.
“There is no better life than the one that everyone carries in their own suitcase.”
This work has received a nomination for the Max Awards, a FETEN Award and two Oh! Awards, in addition to numerous international recognitions.
